   @ele I made the switch to Linux a few months ago and so far I haven't looked back. I think that for most people it's more than ready for prime time. I'm here if you want any guidance/advice on what I've learned!

     @ele Honestly I haven't needed any. One thing I recommend is an "immutable" distro like Fedora Silverblue or Kinote (or the upcoming KDE distro). With an "immutable" distro the system files can't be edited so it's very difficult to break. Also this is anecdotal, but a GNOME interface *seems* to be more familiar for Mac users, and KDE for Windows but in my experience both are very easy to "get".

     Other newbie friendly distros are Ubuntu, Zorin, or Mint. It's all free so I say just try them out!

     Fantastic! Yes I may reach out for advice soon. First burning question: do you have any manuals to recommend?
